ELIGIBILITY

For horses who have proved to be “OUTSTANDING IN THEIR TIME” in OCTRA events and owned by or have been owned by an OCTRA member during the time of its outstanding achievements.

Criteria as follows (any two must be met). Criteria may be updated with a change of Board of Directors.

OCTRA Year End Top Ten in any three (3) of the four disciplines for at least two years.

A consistent record demonstrating a high completion rate.

Horse has been short listed for a national or international event more than once.

A record of longevity and performance. For example the horse has been in competition for more than five (5) years with 80% or greater top ten finishes.

Additional Stall of Fame considerations

Horse must have shown qualities of achievement that were above all others competing at that time.

Achievements outside OCTRA recognized events will be taken into consideration providing the horse has achieved a good measure of his/her successes in OCTRA sanctioned events. For example: If a horse has shown a high level of success at out of province competitions they should also be listed, but will not be considered if it’s at home success is only slightly above average.

NOMINATIONS – for Stall of Fame

Nominations must be in to the OCTRA Secretary 60 days prior to the AGM.

Horses may be nominated for this award at any time. For example: If a horse was retired 15 years ago, and records can prove that the horse competed at a level that separated it from other horses competing at that time, it would be eligible for nomination to the Stall of Fame. (Orig.2.16D.1c)

Each horse nominated must have a letter of accomplishments and the reason that the nominee feels this makes the horse “outstanding in its time”. If there is any doubt as to the accuracy of the facts presented in the minds of any Board member, these must be checked out prior to the decision.

Acceptance into the Stall of Fame will be the decision of 80% or more of the Board of Directors.

The President may be included in this vote.

All votes will be secret ballot.

No reason will be given for decline.

A horse may be nominated again to any subsequent board. There is no limit to the number of times a horse may be considered nor is there a time limit for consideration providing the nomination can be backed with facts.

RECOGNITION

Nominations accepted into the STALL OF FAME will be recognized at the Annual General Meeting, included in the Rule Book and on the OCTRA web site.
